Go to 6:15 of this youtube clip and you’ll see Mitt Romney mocking Barack Obama on the issue of climate change at the Republican national convention. As Amy Goodman then points out, however, neither candidate (and none of the moderators) bothered to mention climate change at the debates. This is an incredibly sad state of affairs.
The Germans have a knack for calling things what they are. For example, the German word for pork literally translates to “pig meat”.
So this German take on American politics reeks of honesty.
